Sheoaks… Prepare for Holiday Envy

Dan Fellow was the lucky one from Think Tasmania this time. He travelled from his home in Westbury to stay in Coles Bay with Alan and Margaret Morgan. He’s since made us entirely jealous, sharing photos from his holiday album. Sheoaks on Freycinet is clearly a beautiful property with outstanding views. The photos alone though, can’t reveal the warm and friendly reception received from the hosts, including the resident cat! Dan has announced the service and food matched the first-class accommodation and in his usual succinct way, declared his entire stay was “much enjoyed”.

Sheoaks on Freycinet was architecturally-designed and custom built to take advantage of the enviable waterfront location. Views over Great Oyster Bay from the deck and sitting room an outstanding highlight, according to Dan. Watching the sun set over the bay while indulging in local seafood and a glass or two of Tasmanian wine… what could be better?

Dine on the Deck: Watch for Whales

Sheoaks on Freycinet is a bed and breakfast property, so we’d be remiss not to mention the food. A fully cooked breakfast is included in the tariff and features local Tasmanian produce when possible. Imagine starting the day on the deck overlooking the ocean, where you could even spot a whale given the right timing and a dose of luck.

Sheaoaks on Freycinet is a tourism award-winning property in Tasmania

With advance notice, guests can request a packed bush-walker’s lunch or even a luxury hamper for a special picnic. Evening meals are available by prior arrangement… but we’re really impressed by the self-catering advice supplied to guests, with suggestions about where and what to buy locally. Again, stay tuned as we will reveal more information about that.

Sheoaks is found on the outskirts of the Coles Bay township, only 5kms from Freycinet National Park. Without venturing too far, visitors can walk to local sandy beaches and search for wildflowers and Tasmanian animals. Alan and Margaret can share their in-depth knowledge to keen fishermen and bird-watching enthusiasts. Dan, also passionate about capturing birds with his camera, declared Freycinet a twitcher’s “paradise”.

Your recommendation could not have been more timely. My boyfriend and I were driving in the area on a day trip from Swansea over the Hobart show day ‘long weekend’. We were looking for somewhere nice in the area to stay. This looks to fit the bill perfectly!
